"A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."
Surely thats up to the robot?
We have similar laws for us, and plenty of people still get hurt.
(Thats a fucking cool picture by the way....)

Yeh man.
Its the first of Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics, that he laid down in I Robot:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Fuck yeah. I love being a geek.
PS. Sampled this for a tune recently...
